Modesty Culture is a large part of Purity Culture, which I will write more in-depth about in an upcoming series. I wanted to talk about modesty in its own post since it is stressed so often within the Evangelical/conservative Christian Church and since I dealt with the concept many times as I was growing up.

She was the first woman to circumnavigate the globe by bicycle in 1895! Why? You know, just because and to show that she could do it and that women can do ~anything.~
Have you heard of her? Before Ms. Davidson Kenner's most famous invention, menstruators had to use rags and toilet paper as menstrual products! She created the precursor to maxi pads - the sanitary belt, which was not actually used by anyone until almost 30 years after she invented it!
This phrase is not radical! It doesn't mean "get rid of all police," but it does mean "abolish policing as we know it."
(But you don't have to be! There's no shame in educating yourself or turning yourself around after receiving new information.) Do not choose to remain ignorant in this age of information!
You're not helping anyone by repeating "All Lives Matter." Please understand that. It's okay to learn new information and change your attitude/speech accordingly.
Today I want to focus on period poverty (the inability to access menstrual hygiene products) and how it affects people’s educations, as well as talk about negative social norms surrounding menstruation.
As you celebrate MLK Day, forget what you were taught from sugar-coated and glazed-over schoolbooks.
Many people can say, "I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard the terrible news." I can't. I also can't remember the horrible things that ensued in the wake of it, but I've learned.
March is Women's History Month! In honor of all the amazing women who have come before me, I am writing a series of posts all about feminism. I don't know how many parts there will be yet because there is so much to talk about, so please bear with me.
Wowza, this post has been a long time coming. I thought I'd make one about my thoughts (as well as other people's) on tattoos. I'll also include some pictures and an explanation behind my first tattoo at the end.
I know it's been a while. I'm a junior-almost-senior in college now. I've got books to read and projects to work on and Netflix to watch and stories and papers to write, people!
And now what's going to happen to thousands of brave transgender servicemembers who have already joined the military in the past and are currently serving?
I'm probably not very eloquent, but I'd like to share my thoughts of hope and love with you all.
Okay so I'm super tired of seeing things about this and I'm sure everyone else is too, but I have some strong opinions about this issue and I need to get them out. I'm going to talk about the 'Stanford rape case'.
Ever since I became a college freshman, I have been asked the same questions multiple times by almost everyone I have come into contact with. One of the questions I get asked the most is “Have you made any (new) friends?”. The short answer is no—and yes, I receive very odd and confused and sometimes even pitying looks when I say that. I really shouldn't feel the need to have to explain myself, but this post will act as the long answer, doing just that.
First of all, what is senioritis? It can be defined as an affliction of students in their final year of high school (or college) characterized by a decline in motivation or performance. I'll be the first to tell you that senioritis is, indeed, a real thing. Here are some examples:
I am a founding member of the WLO (Women’s Leadership Organization), or “Willow”, which is a club that is helping to promote gender equality and empower young women to take leadership roles in their community.
